Tanikawa Sakuya’s Anxious Because of a Cold

“Hideyor~i………., it’s war~m.”

“Alright.”

I took the lukewarm towel off her forehead and replaced it with a chilled one.

“So cold! Be more kind to m~~e.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

It’s a pain to argue with Sakuya so I let it slide.

Then, I threw the lukewarm towel into the tub.

“But it’s actually the case huh? Without your coffee cup hair tie, I almost didn’t recognize you, you know.”

“Don’t remember a person by their hair tie…………take a proper look at my fac~~e.”

“Yeah, whatever you say.”

She’s a little cute when she slightly stretches the end of her sentence like that.

So she’s the type that wants to be spoiled when she gets sick huh.

“Uu, I’m dyin~g.”

“I told you, you’re gonna be fine. Come on, if you’re that anxious then I’ll hold your hand.”

When I held Sakuya’s right hand, Sakuya firmly squeezed back.

She then laughs with a [Hehehe].

“I love this part about you Hideyor~~i.

“Yeah, is that so.”

“And, And, if I die, put my grave on a hill with a field of flowers where I can see coffee oka~~y.”

“Where on Earth would I find a place like that!?”

Just how much does this girl love coffee? I bitterly smile at the thought.

This is my first time inside Sakuya’s room but I can spot a lot of coffee-related books like [How to brew a delicious coffee] and [Encyclopedia of Coffee Beans].

It’s clear that her passion for coffee is real.

“Uuu, I wanted to be in the same class as Hideyor~~i. Why did I end up in a different cla~~~~~ss.”

“Right, it would be nice if we can be in the same class someday huh.”

“Hideyori…….., you see, you see!”

“Yes, yes, I will listen to whatever you say today okay.”

“Your hand, ………it’s reassuring. And very calming. It’s a hand that can make people kind…….”

“Is it, I wonder…….”

My role is supposed to be the scumbag piece of trash that can only bring misery to others though.

Well, Sakuya wasn’t a victim of the original Hideyori. Rather, she didn’t even appear in the game in the first place.

“I’m sorry for being mean to you when we first met ok~~ay.”

“Don’t worry about it. Come on, get some rest……”

“Unn, okay………”

With that said, Sakuya falls into a deep sleep.

If she’s usually this cute then she would undoubtedly be popular though.

Thinking so, I replaced her towel again.

“Hideyor~i…………… which one…….is, t-…..-he real you………..”

When I touched her forehead while replacing the towel, I could feel the heat from her body temperature.

It doesn’t seem like it’s the type of cold that will get better with some rest huh.

Sakuya’s already asleep so should I head home for the day?

[[I’m sorry for being mean when we first met ok~~ay.]]

Seriously, what’s up with them.

Emi, Risa, Tsugaru, Sakuya.

Why are they growing cuter and cuter every day? I even think that some of them are on the path to becoming a beauty you know!

Takeru is also androgynous so his face is nice too.

Hideyori’s face only looks like a villain and it also gives off bad vibes. Isn’t this a little too unfair for me!?

In the end, it’s a world that’s convenient for Takeru since he’s the protagonist huh.

I’m probably just a guy that exists solely to plunge the heroines into misery with my Gift and to progress the game’s NTR plot anyway.

After all, Hideyori only used his Gift for things like murdering, entrapping, and NTR. He never used it for anything good at all.

“…………Nn?”

He never used it for anything good?

…………….I see. It should be fine for me to try using my Gift to help others huh.

I glanced at the sleeping Sakuya.

It’s just an idea but maybe my Gift can be used like that?

At least it’s worth a try.

“Sakuya……, [Cure your cold right now].”

“Nn……”

Sakuya groaned in a small voice.

When I touched her forehead again, her body temperature seemed to have gone down to the normal level.

Regardless of the person’s will, my Gift should be able to subconsciously affect their cells and organs right?

That was the idea I had and it seems like I hit the bull’s eye.

As expected, it would be impossible to grow someone a new arm but I think commands like [Get rid of your cancer cells] or [Fix your stomach ache] should be effective.

After all, Sakuya’s cold appeared to be treated.

There’s no demerit for me at all.

I mean, the game’s explanation for Hideyori also said that it’s a cheat ability with no disadvantages whatsoever.

If anything, he did use a command like [Bleed out and die] plenty of times in the game. (On the contrary, a command like [Split into pieces and die] or the likes that require external force seems to be impossible.)

In other words, if I can destroy someone’s body on the subconscious level, I should be able to heal them too.

That’s the theory I came up with.

And it actually worked out pretty well.

In the end, this is a game’s world.

The Devs have no reason to add some disadvantageous setting that they would find difficult to utilize in the story.

The cheat is a cheat because it’s a cheat.

That’s the logic here.

You sure are lucky, Sakuya………

You don’t have to suffer like the game’s characters and you can do whatever your heart wants.

I’m jealous of you but knowing that you can be happy also gives me peace of mind.

You exist in the safe haven of this world.

“Be happy okay.”

I gently brush aside Sakuya’s bangs that cover her eyes so as not to wake her up.

From her relaxed eyelids, it seems she’s sleeping comfortably.
